Interesting video on the future of programming

I found this interesting video today. It’s basicly just Anders Hejlsberg, Herb Sutter, Erik Meijer and Brian Beckman sitting around a table discussing future and current trends of programming languages. It touches a lot of exciting subject such as concurrency and the .Net’s ability to mix several programming languages.

It was very relieving that a lot of what was taught in courses at the university where I studied is now reaching mainstream languages :)

Cool T-shirts

I stumbled upon the threadless t-shirt site some days ago. Very interesting concept. Their business model seems to be letting the users do the design and filtering of suggestions while they just print the shirts and run the site. They pay back the designs gets picked in cash. The only problem with the shop seems to be that some (all?) of the really nice shirts are sold out :(

The Corporation

I saw the documentary The Corporation today. Extremely interesting movie. A very cool thing is that they created a divx version of the movie and is distributing it on bittorrent making it very easy to get.  They then plead people to donate at the start of the movie. Interesting concept, I really hope it works for them. The movie touches a number of very interesting topics related to corporations, including governments, patents, science, marketing, environmentalism etc., besides explaining in a very clear way what corporations are.

Second Life

So for a while I have been aware of Second Life but I havn’t really taking the time to look into it yet. Tonight I was watching this movie about Second Life and the concept they have created has completely blown my mind. There are some really interesting points in the talk on a lot of different levels, including how do they have created a complete virtual world, handled subcription fee’s, how do they make people actually create content instead of just consuming, licensing online content, selling stuff in a virtual world etc.

Love Doctorow

I was watching Cory Doctorows speech on DRM at the Red Hat summit and I found this little quote really funny and insightful:

“DRM isn’t about stopping people from ripping stuff off. DRM is about taking those few honest people and screwing them out of every penny that you can”

Crazy patents

Found a list of crazy patents today. Some of them are really funny, such as the Religious Meditation Apparatus and Vehicle mounted toilet seat.
